The FurledSails podcast is the worlds first sailing podcast. In this Podcast we talk about trips we have made to the 20th annual small boat meet at Cedar Key Florida, sailing in the Cedar Key area, Kite Quest, and tell you about the recipe of the week.

My wife and I attended the 2005 Cedar Key Small boat Meet held annually in Cedar Key Florida. We had a great time. The following story describes the weekend and has a few pictures I took along the way.

"During this "Mix Up" regatta, local West Indies sailors are invited to sail aboard the modern race boats in the morning and in the afternoon the gringos can catch a ride on one of the traditional island sloops. I was invited to race aboard Miss Anguilla, one of the 30-foot open wooden boats native to Anguilla and St. Martin and which were originally used for transporting sugar cane and the field workers up and down the island."

The story of the sinking of Arwen, a 30 foot wooden doublended cutter, is the sort of thing that can keep you awake at night. Jack Ganssle hits something in deep water that is big enough to stop his boat in its track and hard enough to crush parts of his hull. Five minutes after the crash she was gone.

I was thinking of this story when I saw a review of this Rescue Laser Flare. One of the things I liked about the laser flare was that you could use it again and again without expending it.

"The basic concept of the Rescue Laser Flare is to modify a laser beam so that it projects a line rather than a pinpoint light source we normally associate with a laser. The theory being that the expanding vertical line would cover a wide swath so that it would greatly increase the odds of being seen as a survivor scans a target or the horizon and the laser light would be distinctive and stand out better than a traditional flashlight. Another use would be for Search and Rescue (SAR) forces to use a similar tool to cover more ground or water than could be done with the relatively limited area lit by a searchlight, with any retro-reflective material being picked up in the beam and reflecting back the laser light source."
